It's Out!!!

It took 15 days, but Piper has officially lost her first tooth! I was sad to not be here to see it (darn work), but Mimi and Papa took care of everything. Piper was showing Mimi how she could twist it and it twisted off in her hand.
I brought home ice cream to celebrate. The tooth is now tucked away inside her tooth fairy pillow along with a gem she wants to give her as well. I think #2 will be out in a day or two. The one next to it is really loose and the permanent tooth is growing in behind it already. That thing is huge!

Finally...

Piper has two loose teeth! She has stared her little tooth fairy pillow at and longed to lose a tooth for a year now and it is finally her turn! The girls started dance tonight and I noticed something in Piper's mouth and upon inspection it was her new tooth breaking through already! Her two bottom teeth are loose and she is so excited. I think everyone in the dance studio heard the news! She has been wiggling them back and forth constantly trying to get them to fall out. The good part is she wants to eat only apples and carrots to help the process along. The bad part is she spits out every bite of food to inspect it for teeth before swallowing it because she is terrified of swallowing one of them. I'll keep you all posted...
